Short Visit?

The side door of the Gymnasium produced a creaking sound as I pushed it open. The sounds of the distant basketball practice could still be heard in this area, but it was muffled enough to feel the tranquility of this area.

I scanned the immediate hallways, expecting to catch a glimpse of Orimura-sensei’s but the corridor leading to the club rooms was empty.

After thinking for a while, I sent Chii a quick message, “I’ll be there in a minute, Chii. Is An-rin behaving?”

Her reply came almost instantly, with a string of laughing emojis, “Good thing you messaged me, Kii. An-rin is already plotting to pick you up there. She just wanted chaos!”
